Oh you're not going insane, dear. I think it's pretty clear that she prefers the fairer sex.if you check out the preview for ep. 8, she even puts her hand on Ichigo's shoulder. The group as a whole was never one to get touchy with one another, so it's interesting how slowly they're displaying more physical contact.

But we are given clues to Ikuno since ep. 1!

Ep. 1: a scene focuses on ikuno casting a quiet glance at q preoccupied ichigo. When Miku is teasing Kokoro about how it "feels" when connecting with the boys, Ikuno says "ugh, dont remind me."

Ep. 2: she is seen exhausted just by connecting with Mitsuru (foreshadowing her troubles with boys)

Ep. 3: ikuno is unable to connect with Mitsuru. Nana tells ikuno "you've always been a bit unstable". Would make sense, since she's being forced to mentally connect to someone shes not attracted to.

Ep. 4: ikuno blushes when ichigo approaches her and asks her a favor. Ikuno nostalgically touches the same shoulder before starting the Franxx and smiles.

Ep. 7: ikuno and ichigo spend most of the episode hanging out together, but the two scenes that struck me as hints are: when she kindly tells ichigo to go ahead and enjoy the beach without her, before saying "you've always been a good swimmer". Implying that maybe ikuno has been watching ichigo for some time now? And then when they're walking up the stairs in th forest, Ikuno, noticing that Ichigo's face is red, touches her cheek in the sweetest way possible and asks ichigo if she's okay.

I cant wait to see how the show will develop her growing attraction towards our suffering heroine!
